Is it ok to take PHP&MySQL without prior programming experience besides HTML?

I would say not to take them at the same time. What you want to do is get a good understanding of the fundamentals and then expand on them. So taking an intro to programming and perhaps intro to database design would be the way to go.

If you have access to an adviser, I’d say talk with one before deciding. They will be in a better position to help you layout your course selections.

I went to a training institute where they are teaching all the above three!!
For Php they are charging 25000 Rupees individually.
For SEO, the cost is 20k rs.
For web designing it is same as php.
I am a BSC grad & dont have a mca
So which should i do out of above 3?
I am presently earning 15k rs

My opinion is that you do not need think about how much money you will make in the future, because good PHP programmer and good designer, and also SEO make almost the same amount.

You need to know in which field of knowledge you are most talented and could show the best results!

And not less important thing is enjoy what you do!

Good luck!

I have a website and I am thinking of slowly making small mods to it and learn through tutorials along the way. To start using PHP where do I start?

Should I use dreamweaver? or do I need a PHP program that will allow me to access and edit the code? My websites programmed in cakephp

PHP only runs on a server. You need the PHP system which is totally freeware with extensive documentation.Try http://php.net/index.php

I see contract jobs for PHP and MySQL programming for 6 months, for like $50/hr. Now if this was for 40 hours a week…. holy crap, that’s a lot of money. But Is it just a gimick, where they really offer only 15 or so? Or are there some weeks of even no work at all?

It’s unlikely that it’s 40 hours per week. Sometimes it could be 40 hours in 3 days, though. You’ve got to remember that when you’re doing contract work, there’s also time you have to allow for sales - for getting customers. Then there are fixed price jobs where you quote on a project for a certain amount of money - and they take you up on it. But they ask for a few small changes - now that should be extra - but they’re a good customer, you want to keep them happy - so you do that for free.

Also to be working 40 hours a week, you need to line up one job after another. Often customers don’t like waiting. If they’re 4th in line, that might mean a deliverable in 10 weeks, which they won’t accept.

How can I learn php programming !?

Can anyone recommend some really good and easy to understand books on PHP Object-Oriented Programming and JavaScript/AJAX?

Also, would I find them at WHSmith?

The barcode comes out perfectly fine, but the words do not. I want it to turn a 180 degree angle. Thank you!

I think the only way to do this would be to convert the text to a graphic and then rotate the graphic. To output text, look for commands like:

ImageTTFText($image, 16, 0, $width/3 + 50, $y - 20, $black, $font, ‘Poll Results’);

See resource link below for for a tutorial.
